Starting Wednesday, the limited-period “One Rupee Ticket” campaign invites everyone to try fast, cashless public transport.
The app has struck a chord with the people of Chennai. In month one, Chennai One crossed 5.5 lakh registered users, 14 lakh journey searches and 8.1 lakh tickets booked. Commuters appreciated the clean design, the ease of a single QR and the comfort of planning, paying and tracking an entire journey across bus, metro, suburban rail, autos and cabs in one app.
The promise of “one city, one app, one ticket” is showing up on the ground as customer delight and adoption. Designed with commuters in mind, Chennai One aligns with the city’s vision of faster, safer and greener mobility for every household in Chennai. “Chennai One is transforming how our city moves, and with this Re 1 fare offer, we invite everyone to experience simple, digital-first travel seamlessly across buses, metro and suburban trains. Our goal is to make public transport the natural choice for daily commuting while promoting cashless payments,” said I. Jeyakumar, Member Secretary, CUMTA.
Getting the Re 1 ticket is simple. Open or download Chennai One, choose your travel destination and complete the payment using BHIM Payments App or Navi UPI app to unlock the Re 1 fare. The offer applies only to tickets successfully used for travel and cannot be combined with other promotions. The offer can be availed only once per registered Chennai One account across either bus, metro or suburban train tickets during the duration of the campaign. Users will receive surprise cash-backs on subsequent transactions during the campaign. Full terms are available in the app.
